Ivory & Mammoth

This is a thread to show off your GEC made knives with either ivory or mammoth handles. GEC made includes the Northwoods made beginning in 2008.
To start here is a very nice #28 from 2012 and beautiful #33 "Conductor" from 2011.
Note that the 'look' of ivory is not easy to capture in pictures. Often ivory looks 'warm' and interesting in person, yet will look somewhat of a flat white in pictures

Ivory is indeed difficult to capture Roland. Two fine examples. The 33 especially is attractive.

John, those 3 all have top notch mammoth ! Not all mammoth is so attractive. I see the #93 in the middle and Madison Barlow on viewer's right. What is the knife on left side ?

Here are 2 more ivory handled GEC knives although they do not perhaps fully belong as they have been re-handled by Muskrat Man.
A #351217 Churchill, which is one of my most favorite GEC pattern.
And a #721112 lockback, which is the same as the #73 Scout pattern, but with a locking blade.

After all these ivory handled knives it is time for some mammoth ivory.
Here is the Northwoods Presidential, made by GEC on their 4" #54 frame. I like 2 blade single spring knives best of all. Usually these are pen knives but when over 3 1/2" are more correctly called a "Double End" jack.
This one is fairly nice.

I believe the other Northwoods pictured along with the Fremont is a Broadway Jack. It might also be a Michigan jack if the closed length if 3 5/8".

Yes, Broadway Jack, 3 1/2". Thank you sir !
The Michigan jack seems rather rare. Maybe fewer were made ?
